Dawn Richard spoke to Essence and basically she has no idea what is happening with Danity Kane:

ESSENCE.COM: Last night’s finale of “Making The Band 4” was sort of subdued drama with a pretty ambiguous ending. Diddy has left the ladies of Danity Kane to decide what the group’s future will be. What is your hope for the group?

DAWN RICHARD: We talked about it and there’s a fear we have of losing our fan base. But at the end of the day, Diddy made his choice to let us decide and we would like to continue with the name and the group. This is our lives and you can’t just say no to your dreams. I love working with the group. However, it’s so hard to say what will happen. I would prefer that the original group members remain. It’s hard enough for fans to follow as is.

ESSENCE.COM: Diddy is a beast when it comes to whipping his groups into shape and his truth hurts. He already let Aubrey go and then D. Woods was a no-show last night. Have you spoken or plan to speak to any of the ladies?

RICHARD: No, I haven’t. Honestly, we really don’t talk that much, but I wish them the best of luck. I showed up, and as one person, I can only do so much. If they want to get in touch with me, they will because I totally support them and always will. All of this stuff affects us because these are our lives. Diddy tells us to try to save our group and some of us don’t show up? We’re making a serious statement to him about the future of this group by doing so.

So you guys don’t talk much which means you’re not friends and a group that is not friends, breaks up. How is this predictable little show popular again?

We have pictures from her shoot below. She even manages not to look so transgender-ish in a few… well, in one of em.

Get a load of this, people:

According to a former Hollywood Madame, actor Will Smith is gay and hired her two male prostitutes. The Madame, who moved her business to New York, tells Ian Halperin that Smith “has swung both ways for years” and was one of her regular clients. The unidentified woman claims that Smith, who has two children with wife Jada Pinkett Smith, “placed his order” for a man after he trusted that she could “guarantee discretion.” “I had to reassure him over and over that I could guarantee discretion,” she said. “Once I convinced him I could, he placed his order. It was for a man. I had 14 women working for me and two guys. You’d be surprised at how many Hollywood stars requested the services of the guys.”

Askmen.com recently revealed their annual Top 49 Most Influential Men of 2008. Barack Obama topped the list coming in at #1.

Look who else made the list -

1. Barack Obama

17. Kanye West

18. Kobe Bryant

20. Lebron James

49. Lil Wayne

John McCain was number #10 and we find it hilarious that Hell’s Kitchen Chef Gordon Ramsey,#6, and Robert Downey Jr (who’s habitually in rehab), #4, have more influence than him.

Hopefully, Obama’s influence will be reflected in the polls in November as well. Yes We Can!!!!! and Yes We Are!!!!

This picture is of Terrance Howard at the Howard Homecoming Football game in Washington D.C. over last weekend, making a complete fool of himself. We also found out exactly how he lost the Iron Man role, well somewhat.

“It was the surprise of a lifetime,” he said. “There was no explanation. [The contract] just…up and vanished. I read something in the trades implicating that it was about money or something, but apparently the contracts that we write and sign aren’t worth the paper that they’re printed on, sometimes. Promises aren’t kept, and good faith negotiations aren’t always held up.”

He’s lying. He knows they told him and his murse to get lost. They needed a little more masculity to stand next to Iron Man. You just can’t get the job done if you’re busy wiping yourself down with baby wipes and prancing around in a drummajor get up.

Pictures from the event under the hood when you… Continue »

You know sweet Jesus is coming back soon:

Thanks to a new Internet-based service called inSPOT, people are now receiving anonymous e-mails about sex, but they aren’t spam and there is no hidden ad for herbal concoctions to increase the size of anything. Rather, the “e-cards” are notices from a previous sex partner that the recipient may have been exposed to a sexually transmitted disease.

The site, http://www.InSPOT.org , is a way for people newly diagnosed with an STD to notify their partners to be tested, too. The e-cards, a sort of greeting card you’d rather not receive, are direct and to the point. Who? What? When? Where?” one available e-card begins. “It doesn’t matter. I got an STD; you might have it too. Please get checked out.” Recipients can then click links to learn more about STDs, possible treatments, and clinics in their cities where they can be tested.

Check out the talented cast below.

There’s a few more up under that thang including one of Bey bent over a pool table. You can can’t help but Continue »

If the nice smile and seemingly innocent dimples fooled you, you aren’t alone:

Kansas City police are looking into a report of non-aggravated assault against Johnson for telling a woman that he was going to kill her boyfriend, then spitting in her face. The case will be investigated as resources allow, police spokesman Capt. Rich Lockhart said. Johnson hasn’t been charged. Ashley Stewart, 24, told police she had left the club but re-entered around 1:45 a.m. to find a friend. Johnson, who had tried to buy her a drink at the same club a week earlier, asked the friend to have Stewart come over, the police report said. Johnson got close to Stewart while swinging his arms belligerently, then said, ”All I wanted [to] tell you is I’m going to kill your boyfriend,” the report said. Johnson kept talking to Stewart and spit the drink in her face after she backed away, the report said.

We don’t know where you have been, Larry, but contrary to popular belief, women actually DO have a choice whether they will talk to you or not. And on this Earth, either choice normally results in them not being spat on. You should try it; everyone’s doin’ it. SMH

Lil Wayne’s assistant was on the stand telling the truth, aka snitchin:

Lil Wayne’s assistant, Terry Bourgeois, testified in a New York court today (October 20) that he occasionally saw a handgun and people smoking marijuana in the rapper’s tour bus. As reported earlier, Lil Wayne was arrested on a weapons possession charge last July after a 9mm was found in his tour bus following a performance with Ja Rule at Manhattan’s Beacon Theatre. A police officer testified last month she saw Lil Wayne trying to hide a gun when she boarded the bus but Bourgeois testified Monday that he never saw Lil Wayne with a gun on the night of his arrest. He also said he didn’t know whether a gun was on the bus. Wayne, who appeared at the hearing, has pleaded not guilty to the gun charges. He faces to three and a half years in prison if convicted. The case will resume in December.

He should know better than to be so flagrant with his gun toting, weed smoking, syrup sipping ways. Hopefully he’s been scared straight as his wee stature will have him being passed around the pen like a bl*nt.

Grab a gander at your boy Kanye West at his promo shoot for his new album, 808′s and Heartbreak.

If you had already agreed to go to the Prom with Yeezy and he showed up dressed like a serial-killing nerd (above), would you still go?

One more shot for you below:

Rumor has it that the L.A. Clipper’s star, Baron Davis (who has been swirl-linked previously to desperate housewife Teri Hatcher) and Kate Hudson are involved in a little swirl thang. Even though they are school chums from back in the day, here’s a little tid-bit for ya’ll: the more money a basketball player makes, the more susceptible he is to engaging in swirl activity, go figure.

Some random broads were out at Strata in NYC recently showing off their god given assets. Damn, after taking a glimpse of that cellulite sandwich, our breakfast almost came up in our mouths a little bit. Why do these broads continuously subject themselves to all of this booty posin’? That ish is not cute. Not cute at all.

G-Unit reject Olivia happened to be there as well, check out pics below:

The bangers were definitely out and about in Hollyweird last night. Mary, Sanaa Lathan, Garcelle Beauvias-Nilon, and Skeletor all came out to the Catherine Malandrino Maison store opening. Just out of sick curiosity, who would motorboat Keisha “Skeletor” Whitaker?

Pacman has entered an alcohol treatment facility:

Suspended Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam Jones has entered an alcohol treatment center. The oft-troubled player has checked into a facility “in another part of the country,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told The Associated Press on Monday. “It’s totally done through and by the NFL,” Jerry Jones said. The NFL said Monday it would not comment. The league suspended Adam Jones for at least four games last Tuesday for again violating its personal conduct policy. Only six weeks after being reinstated from a 17-month suspension because of repeated legal problems, Jones was involved in an alcohol-related scuffle Oct. 7 with one of his bodyguards at a private party in Dallas. The Cowboys had employed the bodyguards to try to keep Jones out of trouble.

We are glad to see Pacman getting help, but it would have probably made more sense to enter this program last year while he was serving a year suspension.

True or false: Pacman will be back in trouble in less than 3 months after he completes this program.
